Raid bumped into Nik again. "Sorry."

"It's okay."

They were walking down a pitch black hall, so dark they couldent see their hand if it was two inches in front of their face.

"So..." Marco started. "Um, hows it goin?"

Nik rolled his eyes. "You mean other then the fact that were stuck in a maze of death, while the rest of our clans could be anywhere, maby even dead?"

"Uh, yah."

"..... Not that good." He replyed flatly.

"Oh, okay."

"Your weird." A.j. muttred.

"Holy shit!!!" Raid shouted.

Nik jumped. "What? Are you okay?"

"Ow, shit. I just hit a freaking wall."

"Thats great!"

"That my nose is bleeding?"

"No. The wall." Nik put his hand to the cold concreate, slowly walking forward. "It'll lead us out." Eventualy there was nothing to touch. He waved his arms around. "Another hall."

"Maby now we'll find a way out!" Marco said cheerfuly.

He shook his head, knowing she didint see him. They had only been wandering for about an hour. As they slowly entred another room, the door behind them salmed closed and lights flashed on. Wincing, they covered their eyes. Three diffrent colored doors in front of them. Red, yellow, and blue.

"Keep it movin' gang!" Zee shouted, walking behind his team, once in a while poking someone in the back so they would speed up.

"But Zee-sensei!" Rika-chan whined. "Im tired!"

"So?"

Misaki turned around angrly. "For once I agree with the stupid ninja. We need to rest. Im hungry. Im tired. We've been moving for hours and I need to sit down." She sat on the ground, crossing her arms.

"Get up." He commanded.

"No." She stuck out her tounge.

"Get up now." He looked into her eyes.

"I said no."

Zee was taken aback. He had used his mind control... He smirked. "I guess your not smart enough to bend down to my power." He pointed out. "Only people with actual working brains listen to me."

She jumped up. "Oh no you didint!"

"Yah. I did."

"Okay. Dont even look at me any more. You face is making me pysicly ill."

"Oh, shut it! Your face makes me feel sick too!"

"Dont lie. You know you LOVE me."

"Yah right!"

Edger sighed. Rika smiled blankly.

"And let me tell you-"

"No, let me tell you..."

"Stup the hell up already!"

"No, you shut up!"

"Both of you!!" Edger steped in between them. "Shut the hell up! You two arguing wont get us any closer to getting the hell out of here!"

"Oh, Mr.Emo speaks!" Zee threw his hands in the air.

"I am not emo!"

"You sure as hell are, buddy!"

"I dont need this shit coming from some bratty gay guy..."

"Are you calling me GAY!?!"

"Hence 'bratty gay guy", yes!"

"Oh, thats it..."

Misaki just chuckled. "Okay, listen. We all have names we have to live with. Edger, your emo. Zee, your gay."

Zee balled his fists. "And I give you the name of freakish retard!"

"IM A NINJA!!!!" Rika suddinly shouted.

"Shut up!" They yelled.

"Okey-dokey!!!" She grinned.

Eventualy Zee got everyone to keep moving after he flipped and almost chopped Edgers head off.

"So... My Phoenix is a Gazer?"

Plum nodded.

Jeff looked shocked, shaking his head. "I never thought the trate would be passed on to her..."

"Well, it did."

"Is... She okay?"

"As far as I know. She's a good fighter. Plus Lex is looking after her-" She covered her mouth. Jeff had just been complaining about how much he hated and wanted to kill Lex.

He glared. "Lex?! Waching over my daughter!?"

"Y-Yes...."

"Why the hell would he do that!? Lex is a self-obsorbed, big-headed brat!"

"Lex..." Plum had to stand up for her older friend. Lex wasint big-headed! Maby Zee, but not Lex. "Lex is a caring person. I know he... He loves her. And Im sure she loves him back."

That only seemed to piss him off more.
